An Anecdotal Memoir of her Majesty, from her birth to the pre sent period ; comprising highly interesting and generally original Anecdotes, Personal Traits, and Characteristic Sketches of the Queen ; with a Faithful and Exquisitely Engraved PORTRAIT, by MOTE, London: J. Saunders, Jun., 49, Paternoster-row. Th e publication of Tau Sux NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 0 minutes past Three o'clock. WITH WHICH " THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1838. We have learned with pleasure that her MAJESTY'S Ministers have offered to appoint Mr. Cr - CONNELL Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, r . , - r Master of the Rolls in Ireland, in the event of the Y,on. and Learned Gentle man's preferring to retire fr', m the fatigue and bustle of political life. It is now nearly thirty years since Mr. O'CONNELL entere(l, upon his great career of agitation ; and during so long and trying a period no man ever exceeded him in 'zeal, or in the extent and efficiency of his lahours, to regenerate his native country. Having had the happiness to live to see many of his dreams of hope realized—to see the Ca tholic freed from the the chains in which bigotry had 'bound bim, and placed on a footing of social awl political equality with his fellow-subjects of every reli gious denomination—to see prejudices, the growth of cen turies, uprooted and ,extirpated —to see Ireland proudly as sume the natural position among the nations of Europe, Mr. O ' CONNELL has nobly earned for himself the privilege of now choosing his own time to withdraw with honour from the arena of politics. But is either of the offices offered him by her MansTv's Ministers adequate to the expression of a na tion'sgratitude for services so numerous, solong, and so invalu able to liberty as those of the Hon. and Learned Gentle man ? Are they consonant with those active habits which Mr. O'CoriNELL must be supposed to have formed, and which he could not now lay aside without serious injury to his health ? We fear not. The political atmosphere seems to us to be among the necessities of Mr. O'CoN NELL'S very being ; and, even independently of this, his appointment to the Mastership of the Rolls is, of itself, not an elevation for which Ireland could be supposed likely to feel very grateful to a Cabinet to whom he has rendered such important services. We are, therefore, of opinion, that if Ministers, in bestowing a well-merited favour upon Mr. O'CONNELL, would at the same time confer an obligation upon the Irish people, they cannot do better than raise him to the Peerage. In the Upper House his services would be of immense importance both to the Government and the country ; while at the same time they could be exerted with a moderation suited to the period of life at which he has now arrived. To exchange the companionship of LEFROY, SHAW, and TENNANT, for a bench opposite tO RODEN, WICKLOW, and LONDONDERRY, may ap pear of very little moment to Mr. O'CONNELL perso nally, and would, no doubt, be opposed in certain high, though not in the highest quarters ; but it is for the Ministry to take into account the popularity which such an act, on their part, would procure for their royal Mistress in Irelands as well as how much it would tend to consolidate their own power. The frowns of WINCHELSEA, RODEN, and FARNHAM, will weigh lightly when balanced against the approving smiles of seven millions of people. Since writing the above we have ascertained that Mr. O ' CONNELL has declined for the present the accept ance of any office. Mr. Sergeant WoLFE is appointed Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and Mr. Serjeant BALL Attorney-General for Ireland, both which appointments will give great satisfaction. It is understood that Mr. MooRE will be the new mem ber for Cashel. Mr. CLAY is to move to-night in the Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill to allow British plantation sugar to be taken from the bonding warehouses for the purpose of re fining on giving security for the payment of the duty, and to reduce the bounty or allowance payable on the expor tation of all descriptions of refined sugar and of treacle, pro duced in the process of refining, to 245. per cwt. Mr. HUME is to propose a reduction of the duty on musco vado sugar to 20s. We should like to see both motions succeed. Sugar has become an article of such general consumption, that it is a necessary of life as much as bread, and the present duty is so high, that the consumption has not increased in proportion to the population. The ad vantages of the reduction of duty are clear, and need no illustration ; but the emptiness of the Exchequer will be sure to defeat Mr. HUME. The advantages of Mr. CLAY'S motion are not so apparent, but amongst them may be reckoned a saving to the revenue. The same motive which will induce the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to oppose Mr. Hume, ought to make him support Mr. CLAY. In another part of our Paper will be found an excellent article on the Sugar bounties, which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER still proposes to keep up to 3tis., and Mr. CLAY to reduce to 245. Now, as the quantity of refined Sugar exported yearly is somewhere about 425,000 cwt., the Ex chequer will save, by substituting Mr. CLAY'S plan for that of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, 255,000/. per annum. But the consumers—the great public—will gain still more. It is a known fact that our Sugar Colonies, which have a monopoly of the home market, produce more sugar than is sufficient for its supply ; and the bounty, as is explained in the article referred to, enables the planter:, to take off the excess, and enhance the price in the home market. Those who have attended to this matter are well aware that a very small excess of an agricultural pro duct much in demand, like Corn or Sugar, (because those who cultivate it are obliged to make large advances for a considerable period before it is brought to market, and must sell to be enabled to continue their cultivation for the ensuing year), always tends to make the price of that produce fall much below the average price. Thus we have seen in England, since the Corn-law was in existence, a small excess of supply, caused by two or three bounteous years, reduce the price of Wheat to 335. per quarter, We doubt, therefore, whether the supposititious case referred to in the article, though it well illustrates the principle, expresses the great rise of price to the con sumers, which is caused by the bounty. At any rate the bounty enhances the price very much, so that, in fact.; we give a bounty to the -planters to enable them to levy a tax of perhaps 2d. per popnd on all the sugar consumed within the limits of their monopoly. • The planters indeed are not benefitfed to the extent of that sum, which is shared amongst a great variety of per sons ; but the great evil of the system is, that the high price caused by the monopoly and the bounty limits the consumption—limits in the first place the enjoyment of the consumers, and limits all the multiplied traffic—traffic giving profit and wages, and enterprise and hope to all con_ cerned in the business, including the planters, from those who grow the cane to those who retail the refined sugar, which would be the consrquence of an extended and ex tending consumption. Ultimately, the exorbitant price, by limiting the consumption, injures even the planter, while it immediately cramps all the trade connected in any way with the manufacture or the consumption of sugar. Mr. CLAY'S motion goes to abolish this bounty alto_ gether, giving on the exported sugar the same sum for a drawback as was levied on the imported sugar. Our Correspondent states that the Muscavado sugar is separated into three portions, refined sugar, treacle, and dirt. It is impossible to determine in what proportion these parts will be obta'ned from any particular sugar, and therefore it is impnssil.l c to lay down any rule which shall be justly ap plicable at all times and to all sugars. But as the dirt on the average forms only a small proportion of the whole, atuLas,..the treacle can be returned into bond or ex poWs.tycll as th e re fi ne d sugar, to re t urn t o th e refiner '2:4.-ericit: cwt, on the refined sugar and the trelcle, the amouitlt.of 7 .the duty which he paid on the Muscovado • i4 , r, or at most 255„ being 13. for the duty lev i e d b y wee - . , ' 5- • "Zr ct.! , ; 0 1 ...A ~,,. alm, II :!7-4 Government on the dirt, is just to the refiner and just to the consumer. In the last debate on the subject Mr. POULETT THOMSON said something was to be allowed for the expense of refining, but that ought to be paid by the consumers. The increased price of refined augar above raw sugar is the payment of the manufacturer for the addi tional value his labour has imparted to the article. The public ought net to pay that in the shape of a bounty, which is taxing us to give cheap sugar to the people of the continent. Except for the purpose of giving the West India planters a bounty on exporting sugar, thus enabling them to tax us, there is not the shadow of a reason why the drawback should not be reduced to 245. or 2.5 s as proposed by Mr. CLAY. One fact stated in the article we have alluded to has great weight with us. The refiner separates from the common sugar a deleterious material. All those who use Musco vado sugar consume a great portion of dirt and slug poison . All the opulent people of all countries use refined sugar, in preference to raw sugar, which on the Continent is looked on with much dislike, proving by common consent that the refined sugar is superior to raw sugar. It would, in fact, be absurd to go through the process of refining, if that labour did not add to the utility and value of the sugar. It is like separating bran from flour, or like those more delicate processes by which quinine or morphia is separated from bark or opium, and the food or the medicine is made doubly efficacious by being unmixed with mere husks or wood. It is therefore of advantage to the public health that refined sugar should be substituted for raw sugar in general consumption. Now, the effect of the enhanced price is to make people use raw sugar instead of refined sugar. But for the bounty, therefore, the use of refined sugar would be increased, and the trade of the re finer would be much extended. The people would no longer submit to swallow dirt and slug poison. The only ob jection we have heard or imagined to the abolition of the bounty is, that it would injure the refiner by shutting him out of the foreign market ; but, if the view we have here set forth be correct, he would be amply compensated by the extended market he would be sure to find at home. For much other interesting information we must refer our readers to the article which has suggested our remarks. The Standard of last evening in speaking of the recent duel between M. DE MELCY and Lord CASTLEREAGH, takes the opportunity of indulging in some sneers at " Mrs. Galse of the most insulting and ungenerous character. 0 There is," says our pious Contemporary—who among other high qualifications, piques himself on being the Parson's Paper, and, of course, therefore, the very mirror of good taste and gentleman-like feeling—" there is, it seems, a singing woman, named Gant, at some of the theatres." A singing woman ! Why, what gross, vulgar personality is, this ! How like the flippant arrogance of some pert West end footman, who conceives unmeasured insolence to be the surest test of high breeding! If Madame Gaistis to be visited with contempt and obloquy, because, though other wise of irreproachable character, she happens to be " a singing woman," what is to be said for the majority of our female aristocracy, a great portion of whose youth is spent in the sedulous cultivation of that very art which our Con temporary deems worthy only of contempt ? SHAKSPEARE has long since told us that " The man that bath not music in his soul Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils," We will not go so far as this ; but we will say that such a man, by the coarse tendencies of his mind, is admirably fitted to pen a leading paragraph in the Parson's Paper. But Madame GRIST, it seems, sings for her bread. This is certainly a grave charge to bring against an intelligent and accomplished foreign lady, who, though standing pro minent in the public eye, may bit t l defiance to the shafts of calumny ; but we have heard of Journalists scribbling in sults for their bread—and insults, too, against ladies whose worst crime was that they were of foreign extraction = which, to our thinking, is a far more disgraceful course to adopt. We are glad it is a Tory Journal that has indulged in this blackguardism. Had it been a Liberal one, the Opposition Papers would have rung for a month with cries of the insufferable vulgarity of the Whig and Radical Press. e have always thought that without a 5/. qualification for the smaller boroughs in Ireland, Municipal Reform would be little better than mockery for all but some ten or eleven places ; and in this opinion we are fully borne out by a statement made by Mr. R. STEUART last evening. It appears that in some of the Scotch burghs the 101. qualification excludes from the town-councils great numbers of respectable citizens—in many instances the very fittest persons for managing municipal af fairs,—and that in the district of burghs which he represents, it is impossible to find fit and proper persons to fill the corporate offices. If this is the case among a thriv ing population in a rich county like East Lothian, what are we to expect in many of the Irish boroughs, where there is little or no trade, and house-rent is a third less than in Scotland ? A 10/. qualification, such as Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes, would disfranchise - these places as effectually as the noted plan introduced last year under his auspices for the abolition of Corporations in Ireland. It in fact amounts to the same thing, under a different name. Mr. O'CONNELL submits to the 101. franchise, and of neces sity, and for the sake of the larger boroughs ; hut, even in some of these places, it would operate as in Scotland, or throw the whole management of Corporation affairs into the hands of ,a few individuals. If in Dublin, with a population of 265,000, the municipal body would not be more than 2,200, in Waterford it would probably not exceed 250 ; and in Wexford, it would amount perhaps to only. Bo. What, therefore, would be the use of passing such a Bill ? It would possibly make some improvement in Dublin, Cork, and Galway ; but in the rest of the boroughs the same complaints with those in Scotland would arise, and the work of Municipal Reform must be commenced anew. In rendering justice to Ire land, it is the duty of the Legislature not to place her nominally, but in reality, on the same footing as England, and by making allowances for the difference in the value of property, give the franchise to a proportional number of the inhabitants of towns. It is a fact beyond dispute that even with a net 10/. qualification this would not be the case, and Ireland will still have reason to complain, that in this instance, as in some others, the people are treated as infe rior to Englishmen and Scotchmen. We find that Mr. PonLETT THomsoN is about to in roduce some measure to amend the Ist VICTORIA, with respect to some regulation connected with Joint Stock Company Bulks. As we arc not at this moment in pos session of the object which he aims to accomplish, we cannot pronounce any opinion upon the subject. We may, however, be &lowed to state that it was under stood that there was to be no patch-work legisla tion with reference to Joint Stock Banking Companies, until the Committee, which is still engaged in investigating the subject had made their report, when a general law was to have been passed to regulate Jnint Stock Banking Es tablishments throughout the United Kingdom. We do not presume to say that the President of the Board of Trade means any thing wrong ; but this we can inform both him and the CitAscELLort of the EXCHEQUER, that it will be our duty to watch the progress of every measure affec ting such institutions, and that we will set our face against any tinkering, or left. handed legislation. The debate on the Irish Municipal Bill last night in the House of Commons deserves a brief notice. Sir GEORGE CLERK, on behalf of Sir R. PEEL, professed a desire to obtain only a bona fide 10/., not a 12/. or 15/. franchise, which his proposition would in reality establish. Mr. O'CONNELL was ready to meet Sir ROBERT amicably on the point. Mr. LASCELLES, Lord ELIOT, Mr. PtTsEv, and a number of other Conservatives, professed a strong desire to settle the MUnicipal question. Although it. was known that the subject was to he brought forward, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Lord STANLEY, and all the leaders of the Tories, were absent ; and the conclusion,therefor c , is, that they are disposed to enter into a compro:nise, and allow the Municipal Bill to become law. The opposition of such poor things as Mr. LITTON, or the declaration of such political mites as Mr. DARBY, that the Tories will then be betrayed, will not prevent the Parliamentary-leader s from getting rid of this vexatious question, on almost any terms, and in almost any manner. Mr. O'CONNELL was throughout as bland and amiablo... as Messrs. LITTON and DARBY were surly and discontented. He, we imagine, therefore, sees his goal near at hand, while they are removed further and further from their object. Ireland will get municipalities for her towns ; but will the Irish clergy thetefore 0-their tithes? The num- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1838. berless meetings we have lately referred to, in the different counties of Ireland, make us answer—No. The inhabitants of the towns are one class, the agriculturists, who are the tithe-payers, are another. The success of the former may embolden, but it will certainly not satisfy the latter. It will increase their demands by an assurance of success. They will not pay tithes either in the shape of rent, or in any other shape. The Tories, the poor defeated Tories, will give Municipalities because they cannot help them selves ; but they will not get the tithe question settled to their satisfaction and the satisfaction of the Protestant par sons. The Irish have in truth got beyond the controul of Par liament, which, like Lours PllirmrE, according to certain French politicians, reigns, but does not rule. At the same time we quite approve of the leaders in Parliament accom modating their party differences as they best can, which will enable them to preserve appearances, and still seem, by giving in due time a legal form and sanction to the popular will, to possess the sovereignty after it has passed out of their hands. For a number of years 'after steam navigation was gene rally adopted in this country, the explosion of a steam boiler was an event of rare occurrence, and the public had such confidence in the security of the vessels, that it was considered more safe to travel by sea than by land. The numerous fatal accidents, however, that have occurred lately, destroyed much of that confidence. Explosions are about as common here as in the United States, and as the English are not quite so reckless of life as the Americans, we are convinced the Directors of Steam Companies will be compelled, from interested motives, to adopt some new regulations for the public safety. The numerous explosions in America have been satisfactorily accounted for, and in most cases arise from wilful misconduct or gross negligence. We are afraid the same causes operate here ; and in all instances where this could be proved against the engineer or captain, the proprietors would be liable to actions for damages, as much as the proprietors of stage coaches for the negligence of their drivers, or the insecurity of the coaches. The heavy damages which juries have for years awarded against offenders of this sort have produced a thorough change. The vehicles are in general secure. A drunken driver is an animal now of the rarest description ; a totally different class of men have been appointed, and the consequence is that not one accident in ten happens now that did formerly. A similar reform is requisite for the conducting of steam-boats. The Congress, we believe, has taken up the subject in the United States ; and unless the proprietors of steam-boats here adopt some new system, it will be imperative on the British Legislature to follow their example. 'Without wishing to prejudice any pending investigation, we are afraid that in most of the instances that have cccurred lately there has been negligence in some quarter, either from not keeping up a proper supply of water, or defective boilers, or want of attention to the safety valves. In all such cases a jury would be much in clined to make the owners responsible. King ERNEST of Hanover is, after all, but a sorry performer of the farce of absolutism. Notwithstanding the constant aid which he receives from that clever but most unprincipled prompter Von SHELE, he rather excites the contempt than the risibility of his subjects. From a long acquaintance with the sort of moral and political character which his MAJESTY, as Duke of CUMBERLAND, acquired among all ranks and classes of men in England, we confess we were prepared for something less grotesque than the subjoined account of his performance of the func tions of Royalty on the 9th inst., which we'copy from the German Papers received this morning. The letter from which the following is an extract, is dated " Hanover, June 10:" " M. Rumann, the Chief Magistrate, had yesterday a private audience of the King, in which he requested that to-morrow being fixed for the celebration of his Majesty's birthday, a deputation of the magistrates and citizens of the city of Hanover might be permitted to offer their congra tulations on the occasion. The Cabinet Minister, Von Schele, who was present, took this opportunity to express to M. Rumann the surprise rand displeasure of the Royal Cabinet at the conduct of the magistrates and citizens of Hanover, who, forgetting the benefits which had been so amply enjoyed by their city since the arrival of the King, had sent the General Assembly of Estates a deputation, with a protest in favour of the Constitution which his Majesty has abolished, M. Von Schele spoke likewise of the well-known meeting at Bre men, declaring that the taking a part in it was not only wholly unauthorised, but even a punishable act, and added that if M. Rumann had thought fit his influence must have been sufficient to in. duce the citizens to refrain from that step. His Majesty fully agreed in the opinion of M. V. Schele, and ordered M. Itomann immediately to call a meeting of the magistrates and citizens once more to acquaint them with his Majesty's will, and to call on them to withdraw their pro test. In conclusion his Majesty was pleased to decline seeing any depti tatlon from the city of Hanover. In consequence of this scene, which is generally related as we have stated in substance, a meeting of the magistrates and citizens has been held to-day, and it was unanimously resolved by no means to recede from a step once taken with mature deliberation. All those who were present at the meeting represent it as one of the most remarkable they remember, and the affair is the sole sub ject of conversation." The threat of veiling the Royal countenance from the Magistracy of Hanover seems to have produced no very powerful effect upon the nervous system of that phlegmatic body. We wonder how M. RUMANN could keep his countenance, when Von SCIIELE had the effrontery to refer to the benefits conferred by his Royal Master upon the capital, unless indeed it can be shown that the abrogation of a nation's liberties, and the ruin of one of the finest uni versities in Germany, are metropolitan advantages. The whole of the Paris Journals of Sunday have been received, but with the exception of the subjoined extracts, they contain no news of any interest : Since Rear-Admiral Leblanc has been stationed in the Plate, many vessels suspected of being engaged, both in the slave trade and in piracy, not being able to go up that river, have sought refuge at ether points of the coast. One of these ships has been captured by the English, who toak it to Jamaica. It is a handsome brig, of American construction, carrying 12 guns, with a crew of about 600, of all nations It bears the names of San Salvador Sarah and Caiman, according to circum stances, and is commanded by a man who is said to be a Portuguese Creole, of whom most extraordinary things are related. There were found in the hold seven or eight prisoners, among whom were two French sailors.

Mutiny has broken out in the Carlist army under Cabrera." The following is a letter from Tune! of June 9 :—" Three days ag o there was a great disturbanceat Cantavieja.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND ASSURANCE SOCIETY. —This Society, which is well adapted to enable those to provide for their old age, who have no certain staff on which they can then hope to rest, appears to be going on successfully. It is stated that sirwe the publica tion of their plan, many Friendly Societies have applied for information and advice as to the best mode of effecting an amalgamation with the Society ; the Directors have thereforefixed upon a plan which will enable these bodies to effect that object, by retaining their present officers and without disturbing their existing relations.—Essex Herald. We observe that Mr. Laporte has announced his benefit at her Majesty's Theatre for Thursday next. The great attrac. tions of the 2 , Tozze de Figaro, the appearance of Fanny Ellsler in the cachticha, and of Taglioni in the Tyrolienne, with the variety of other entertainments, are sufficient to ensure an overflowing house. But we cannot let the occasion pass without doing justice to the many claims Mr. Laporte has on the public for his able and spirited management of the Italian Opera, He has brought together an host of talent, both in the opera and the ballet, which the theatre has never before witnessed at the same period. We heartily wish him success on the occasion of his benefit, as well as for the remainder of this brilliant season. THE CORONATION.—Company visiting the me tropolis at this interesting time, would do well to inspect the extensive and elegant assortment of all kinds of ornamental hair at Ross and Sons, 119, Bishopsgate-street, particularly their newly invented Ventilating Perukes and Scalps, Head-dresses, and fronts, in which the use of both weaving and sewing silk is entirely superseded, thus rendering them the nearest imitation of the natural hair of any extant. Importing their Foreign, and manufacturing on their premises, all their British Perfu mery, including every description of Combs and Brushes, they are ena. bled to offer them of the most superior quality, and at a moderate price. A visit to their Grand Neapolitan Saloon for cutting and arranging the Hair in, is particularly requested. On Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir Jasper Nicolls. K.C.8., was appointed to succeed as second member of Council at Fort St. George, on his assuming the office of Commander.in.Chicf at that presi dency. On the night of the Coronation all places of public entertainment are to be gratuitously free of access by Royal command 4001. being paid for this purpose to each of the larger houses, 2004 to the Haymarket and Lyceum, 1501. to Astley's, 100/. to the Surrey and Victoria, and proportionate sums to every other description of minor establishmen The Corporation of Liskeard on Tuesday last voted 25/, to be expended in celebrating the coronation. MUSIC AND STEAM.—The Rev. J. Birkett, of Ovingham, an excellent musician, good divine, and ingenious mechanist, has invented a steam organ, which he has adapted to the Tyne locomo- tive engine on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. Mr. Talbot, one of our County Members, has bought the copper works at Talbach, which have been for nearly a cen tury in the hands of his tenants the English Copper Company, and of which the Messrs. Calvert, the great London brewers, were leading pro prietors.—Cambrian. THE LATE DUEL.—The ball passed through Lord Castlereagh's right foie-arm, in an oblique direction; it entered about an inch above the head of the tibia, where that bone is articulated with the wrist joint, and made its exit about two inches from the extre. mity of the radius. Dr. Forbes, the experienced Peninsular surgeon, who attended on the field, immediately cut open the sleeve of the coat, and after an accurate anatomical, examination, pronounced the bones and extensor muscles and tendons to be uninjured, the ball having most fortunately passed merely under the shin. We are happy to learn that no danger is apprehended. It is with great pleasure that we announce to our readers that the Ramsgate Improvement, or rather the Ramsgate addi. tional taxation Bill, was demolished in the House of Commons, by the introduction of clauses moved by Mr. Attwood, which scarcely leave any wish of ours ungratified. The job was one of the most impudent that parties, however interested, ever attempted to palm upon the public— and it was, at the same time, most foolish. If Ramsgate is to flourish, as it has done since the " Commercial Steam.packet Company" visited its harbour, it will flourish, not through trick or cunning, or base attempts a t most impolitic taxation. Of the motives of the parties who mooted this shameful and indefensible Itamsgate Improvement Bill we are per. fectly aware—their influence, most interested as it is, we despise. They are already drowning men—and it shall not be our fault if their heads and their motives be not speedily jammed between the two ugly guardians of a harbour which had a beginning, but, apparently, is not very speedily to have an end.—Morning Advertiser. The last railway train, last Friday evening, from Manchester, performed the whole. distance (to the mouth of the tunnel) in 41 minutes It wai drawn by the "Sun" engine.—Lityrpool Chronicle. _ The answer (luring yesterday to the numerous in quiries at the residence. of Viscount Castlereagh, in Chapel.street, Park lane, was that his Lordship seas doing as well as could be wished. The Marchioness of Londonderry drove up as early as twelve o'clock to see her noble stepson, who is attended by Dr. Forbes of Argyle•street, and Mr. Walker. The ball of the Noble Lord's antagonist, M. Gerard de moor, passed through the fleshy rart of his right arm, near the wrist, w hi c h is severely injured, but it did not, as stated by a Contemporary, graze his chest and leave a track of blood. His Lordship, we under. stand, disclaims having fired at M. de ; he says that he discharged his pistol in the air. M. Cottreau, M. Gerard de Melcy's second was am ong the inquirers after his Lordship's health on Monday. He was able to see a few of his intimate friends yesterday, among whom sees the lion. Henry Thomas Liddell, M.P. The Noble Lord is not such a very young man as has been stated, he is in his 33d year, and has sat eleven years in Parliament for the county Down. On Friday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a lad, named George Eykes, residing at Stratford, was run over by a butcher's cart close by Limehouse-bridge, and was killed on the spot. At the approaching Hams Sessions there are said to be upwards of lOU prisoners for trial, while at the Assizes which take place the week after, the judges will, comparatively, have little criminal business to attend to, , Most cheering is the Reform prospect in East Sussex, as presented to us in the large assemblages of honest and index pendent electors, who, at either extreme of this division of the county, last week met spontanesusly to do honour to two Representatives who, accurately embodying the political sentiments of an immense majority of the really intelligent and respectable portion of the constituency, have well discharged in the House those duties which their fellow.citizens, scarce twerve months 3iuce,gyg cicditably confided to them.--Brigh ton Herald HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

BOYS AND OTHERS V. moacAt The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this Cate, Ivhich was argued before the Court a few days since upon demurrer. The tsill was filed by the plaintiffskas the next of kin of an eccentric gentientan, named Morgan; for the purpose of obtaining the declaration of the Court that, according to the true construction of that gentleman's will, they were entitled to his residuary property. The following is the will upon which the question tui ns :—" To my friends and relations who may be curious to enquire, be it known that, a few years back, of my own freewill, I gave to Eliza Morgan, commonly called Eliza Castello, all my furniture, table and bed linen, and apparel, plate, watches, and trinkets, of any kind then in my possession, a piano-forte, all my library, mane. scripts, papers, &c. ; whatever have been added, and may hereafter be added, previous to my death, without any exception whatever, to her sole use and disposal, under promise from her that she will take care that I shall never be in want of any articles as long as I live; having attained to the eighty-second year of my existence, and finding the infirmities of age increasing, I choose to give her this voucher of the truth, that none may question or trouble her to make declaration of it. She knows that, thirty years ago, I agreed with Dr. Hector Campbell that he should have my carcase, for chemical and anatomical experiments" (which Mr. Knight Bruce, in the course of the arguments, characterised as meaning that his body should either be IvAled down or pulverised, for the purpose of making an essence for ladies' smel,ing.bottles, to be by hint performed upon it, if he could prevail upon her to give it to him ) Doubting her compliance, I will trouble my head no more about it. The world may think this to be from a spirit of singulardy or whim in me; be that as it may, I have always had a mortal aversion to fuucreal pomp and expense, and therefore trust she will avoid it, and had rather be given away, with the sum a funeral would cost, for the purpose of dissection and chemical experiment. I guess there will be found sufficient in my banker's hands to defray and discharge my debts, which I hereby desire Mrs. Eliza Morgan to do, and keep the residue for her own use and pleasure." The question in the case was, whether by that last clause in his will he intended to give Eliza Morgan, the defendant, the whole of his residuary property, or only the liemainder of the money at his banker's after the paym:nt of his debts. The plaintiffs contended that the latter was the true construction of the will, and tiled their bill for the purpose of obtaining the declaration of the Court to that effect. To that bill the defendant, Mrs. Morgan, put in a demurrer for want of equity. His Honour was clearly of opinion that from the beginning to the end, though Mr. Morgan mentioned to his friends at the beginning of his will, that his sole object was to make Mrs. Morgan the sole repository of his trust and bounty. Such being the case, his Honour was of opinion she was entitled to the whole of the residue, and the demurrer therefore must be allowed, but without costs. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) SUGAR BOUNTIES. The sugar monopoly enjoyed by the West Indians would he of little service to them without the aid of a nounty ; and the bt'lnity would be valueless to them if it were not for the monopoly. Suppose the importation to be 100, and the powers of home consumption 90, there would be a surplus suFpIY over demand of 10. The pr:ce of these ten pressing on the market, would dictate a price to the 90. It is therefor e important to the West Indians that some means should b e devised for the removal of the 10. These means are foun d in the Bounty which operates so effectually, th at ' instead merely of the surplus 10 being exported, 2 0 a re. shipped, leaving then but 80' to satisfy the demand for 90. This it is that converts the monopoly into a great bene fit to the planters, and causes it to inflict all the evils of ex ; c essive prices, &c., as though the positive importation 01 sugar had, in the first instance, been short of the dema nd for home use. The bounty is computed on the following basis, fur' nished by the suglr refiners in reply to a general question —" What would be the result, in your opinions, if all the, sugars imported from the West Indies were to be refined F . Answer--a cwt. of the mass would yield 611 b. of refined sugar, 18 do. bastard, 28 do. treacle, and 5 do. dirt ; there fore, .taking the present duty for the computation, for the sake of clearness, we have 611b. refined sugar a' 24s l3s. 03k 181 b. bastard at 245' 3 10 281 b. treacle at 24s 6 0 51b. dirt and waste ...at 24s 1 Of 112 23 11 . t But, said the Government of that day, because we wish the poor man to have a cheap sweet, we will return the exporter of G 1 lb, of refined sugar, not only the Pro portion of duty fairly appertaining to it, namely, 13s. Ocli" but we will give him also the duty belongingto the 281b treacle Gs., and to 51b. dirt, Is. od4. ; therefore, o n the exportation of 6111). of r e fined sugar, the shipper shall be 13s. Od..t, entitled t 0... Gs. 0 -20 s. Id., which carried out---• Is. Odl Glib. at 20s. Id. on 1121 b., give 365. 101 ; thus 3Gs. lOti• are known as the single refined bounty. Soon after, but now a many years since, a demand came from Russia for double refined sugar. This demand gav ° rise to a new arrangement. It was argued that to obt° refined sugar of so fine a quality there would be reer 6 treacle than 281 b., and more dirt and waste than 51b. Com puting, therefore, on the same principle, as in the single re fined bounty—namely, returning all the duty on the treacle and on the dirt, when the double refined sugar, or sugar equal in quality to it, was exported, conferred on the 11: 2 I"' of double refined sugar exported, a bounty 435. 2d. per e w , t " Both plans treat the treacle and dirt as so much rubbis' The refining process divides the muscovado sugar 1 0 t 0 three unegnar parts, and these parts or proportions 3 1 continually varying, depending on circumstances bey oro ' the controul of the refiner—such as the condition in w hich the crops of sugar are got off the plantations, how they 3 7 afterwards then treated, and the season of the year at whit the refiner at home manipulates them. These propert i l i of course vary accordin n• to the description of raw sugar wll'c. the refiners purchase for their operation, and which diffe r ir : yield per cwt. from perhaps 451 b. to 751 b. of refined see r ; while the price of the different sorts sometimes determine t the refiner to purchas e one , some ti mes th e o th e r. In f ` e 9 t h e therefore, no approach t o accurac y can h e a tt a i n ed 0 " yield of the sugars absolutely submitted to the refining P r° . - cess, and yet, strange to say, the Government of the Pr e ; sent day determines to adhere to a principle for c omPti tin : bounty, which is formed on an ever-shifting basis. i rl .- L 1 medy this evil it is proposed to treat the refineries as b on " - warehouses, to deliver to them muscovado sugar upo n 35 th proved security for the amount of duty being given t° t 0 Customs, and to give them a drawback equal only t o duty. Two months from the date of the delivery of s tlii . sugar, the refiners are to finally adjust their account wi th to 7 Customs, by paying 245. per cwt. on the refined Pro duc e not delivered to th proper officer for re-exportation—''.. . . . subjoin below a pro forma account. (A.) The same number of gallons of cane juice, 1 6 ° 1 wi l l boil down to 1121 b. of ordinary musovado sugar, if fi lter of and otherwise purified, will not yield more than 701 b• sugar of first quality ; the remaining 4 0 1 b. are not d e i stroyed, but are left in the molasses, and may be shiPP% from the plantation to England under that name. T his in fact done to a considerable extent, and the importer ° it evades ss. 6d. duty, as thus :- 701 b. at 24s lbs. od. 421 b. at 9s. 112 18s. 6d. The same quantity of cane juice treated in the ordi thee way would have yielded 1121 h of muscovado, on whic h, duty would be 245. By this process of partial refining 13 the colonies, and extracting the sugar from the molasses when imported, the cunning colonists, gain an additional sum Irmo the people of England. The dirt which the refining proceso extracts from the Muscovado sugar is of a very deleteriou s character, and is eagerly purchased by the agriculturists because its poisonous qualities are destructive of slug* grubs, flies, &c., which are injurious to the growing crops' For the benefit of agriculture, therefore, it is v ery itn; portant that the community should use sugar from whi c t , this matter has been extracted, while it is also of inll 9 °' ante to the public heath that what poisons slugs should no be used to poison the people. The ex-duty price of treacle to the poor English C 0 g ; sumer has been for some time nearly the price, and at o n ' d seasons more than the price, of double refined sugar shiPll., from London to Tri es t e an d other ports. This fact t°11", answer the plea of allo w i n g treacle to come into the eollt if try duty free, for th e a d van t age o f th e p oo r man. li ti , ho it were really the obj ec t o f our s t a t esmen to benefi t ' l a poor, the reduction of duty proposed by Mr. Hume ' vo %, be far more beneficial to them than tempting them to e° _ sume an impure article. By the proposed the price of treacle will not be enhanced, be ta ::•11 that which is imported as a component of molasses will be admitted duty free, the duty of 9s. on the 1 1 ' 21 " ;ri l e molasses being intended to meet the sugar in it• q- es t other component of molasses, as imported from the rio Indies, is so impure that it must pass through the refill° Pro to the public ; it consists of sugar in great variety ° f P portions, and of treacle. r r e ' Treacle is the uncrystallizable produce of the sug a t fineries, and is notorious for its sweetness. It s a° bt, weigh about 13 Alb. to the imperial gallon, be quite bottle and possess a string of tenacity when poured froal ater vessel to another, which tests adulteration pith would destroy. alteratios: ( A.) Dr. FISHER V. MILLER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff', a solicitor, to recover a sum of 362/. 17s. 6d. for work and labour done as such, and for money advanced. It appeared that some gentlemen put forward a prospectus for building a theatre, to be called the Princess's Theatre, on the site of the Queen's Bazaar, Oxford.street, and that the plaintiff was employed as the solicitor of the Company. Among the members of the Committee of Management were Mr. Hamlet, Mr. Ward (who had since become a bankrupt,) Mr. Broadwood, and the defendant Mr. Miller; and the orders for the execution of the trust deed and other legal business were alleged to have come from Mr. Miller. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Thesiger) having stated the case, called several witnesses for the purpose of proving the work done by the plaintiff', and also the fact of Mr. Miller having been one of the parties by whom he had been so employed. Mr. CRESWELL (with whom was Mr. CIIANNELL) addressed the jury for the defendant. There was nothing in the case to induce them to believe that Mr. Miller was in any degree connected with the speculation. On the contrary, it appeared that the plaintiff had all through acted as the attorney of Mr. Ward, and had no connection or commune ation whatever with the defendant. 'lhe Learned Gentleman here referred to several items in the Bill, for the purpose of shewing that the great bulk of the business done was with Mr. Ward and Mr. Hamlet instead of the defendant. Mr. Fisher had acted as solicitor to the Company, as was frequently the case in speculations of this sort, and it having proved a failure lie should take his chance for repayment. Whoever was responsible to him, however, it could not be said to be his client Mr. Miller. Lord DENMAN having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) Nothing of importance took place up to the time of our going to press. UNION HALL.-(TIIIS DAY.) MURDER OF ELIZA - GRIMWOOD-HEBBARD'S DISCHARGE. This being the day appointed for the bringing up of Hubbard, who was remanded from last Monday week, an immense crowd assembled around the Police-office long before business usually commences. The curiosity of the multitude was doomed to suffer great disappointment, for there were a great number of trivial charges to be disposed of which occupied the Magistrates till half-past twelve. About eleven, the Surrey prisoners' van arrived, and a tremendous rush took place; it being concluded that it conveyed Hubbard, but such was not the case, and it became rumoured that the Ma. gistratcs would not allow him to be brought up, for fear of the excitement which his appearance seemed likely to create. Shortly after twelve, the surgeon who was examined at the inquest entered the room, and was for soma time in close conference with the Magistrates. About half past twelve Inspector Field (to whom, it will be recollected, the conduct of the investigation has been in some measure confided) made his appearance, and laid before the Magistrates a couple of brass door plates taken from the room in which the murder was committed, a small penknife, and the stays of the unfortunate deceased, dyed in blood. The door plates pre sented, on several parts, the appearance of a stain of a blueish colour, and the minutest investigation took place to ascertain whether this arose from a person on leaving the apartment, touching the plates with a bloody hand, or merely from the tarnish occasioned by damp, &c. It was also endeavoured to be discovered whether the stabs were effected by means of the knife presented. On neither of these points could a very satisfactory conclusion be arrived at. There was also produced a pair lavender-coloured kid gloves, marked in the inside in black ink "S. K. T." It will be remembered the writer of the "John Walter Cavendish" letter stated that he left a pair of gloves behind him, but described them as black. Mr. JEREMY commented upon this contradiction, as affording a convincing proof, among many others, of the fabrication of the letter. At the same time he could not help observing it was most extraordinary that the fact of the finding of the gloves had not been made the ground of inquiry before, especially as the letters " S. K. T." whether they were to be considered as a shop mark, or the initials of the owner, might lead to the discovery of the owner. The Surgeon said when the gloves were first fuund he did not observe any such mark. Gough, police constable 31 L, said the gloves were found by Mrs. Hubbard on the bed, and given by her to him. He did then ob. serve some mark inside, but he could not recollect if it was the same as the "S. K. 'I." The gloves were in the same state exactly as when he first received them. Maria Fisher, the' servant at the house in Wellington.terrace was called iii, and repeated to the Magistrates:substantially the same state ment which' she made before the Coroner. She said the first alarm she had of the murder was from Miss Glover, who cried out " There has been murder!" When Miss Glover said that, Mr. Best was standing above her on the landing, and Hubbard above him, quite behind. Witness, when asked why she did not speak of the murder at. the time she went out early in the morning to the public house, replied, she was so agitated, but she mentioned it to the policemen whom she met, and to a person named Reynolds. She went on to say there were two or three towels in the room over night—certainly more than one. She saw none next morning. Hubbard's mother removed them. The Beadle, Anderson, here said, that about six o'clock on the morning of the murder, he saw two towels in the room. Mr. JEREMY—That goes to explain another absurdity in an anony mous letter we have received. A man says he is the murderer, and that he threw both the weapon with which he committed the act amt the towels over the bridge. Now, this is quite disproved as regards the towels, which were found the next morning. The winless Fisher went on to state that two of Hubbard's shirts were missing— one had been torn up previous to the murder, the other remained to be accounted for. She added, that Hubbard changed his shirt on the morning in question, and that the shirt which he had on when he rose was taken away by his mother and sent to the wash. Hubbard's mother sent the whole of the linen, bedclothes, &c., to the wash. We forgot to mention that a piece of paper, or card, spotted with Wood, was found on, or under the bed ; and was now produced with the other articles. A long and rather desultory discussion ensued which was ended by Mr JEREMY saying that he considered, independently of the anony mous letter, nothing had come out which tended to substantiate a charge against Hubbard. Mr. TRAIL—It is plain the murder must have been committed either by Hubbard, or the person who came in with the deceased. Now, at first a strong suspicion attached certainly to Hubbard, rind before the Coroner's Jury, who minutely sifted the case, particular attention was directed to his case, but it was not found justifiable to return a verdict against him. In consequence of secret information Hubbard was again taken up, and kept in solitary con finetnent for eight days, and abundant opportunity has tints been afforded to the other person to come forward, if innocent, and exculpate himself, which he has not done. The case then stands thus :—two persons are suspected ; as to one of these, a careful inquiry took place. and he cannot be criminate,'; the other does not come forward ; therefore the strong suspicion does now attach to that other person. As to any pretence of disincline tion to come forward, though innocent of the murder, on account of the imputation which the other parts . _ of the transaction might affix to his character, no such personal consideration should deter a man from doing all in his power to detect and convict the perpetrator of so dreadful a crime as that of murder. Mr. JEREMY directed the person styling himself" John Walter Ca vendish" to be formally called, and any person who could give evi dence on the subject desired to come forward. This was accordingly done, but no person appeared to the summons. Both magistrates expressed themselves convinced of the falsehood of the letter signed by the name of Cavendish. We must nat omit to state, that the penknife referred to was found by a policeman under theboards of the room, rpen, and not covered with dust, so as to lead to the supposition chat it had lain there any length of time. The Magistrates ()Meted Hubbard to be discharged, adding that to avoid any outbreak of popular violence, they would direct his discharge to be effected in such a way as to avoid coming in contact with the populace. Hubbard's brother, who had been in the room during the proceedings, here said he was sure his brother di.l not wish to be discharged except n the usual way. Mr. JgaLmr—We think it best for the public peace that he should not co.neup. Hubbard's brother—lt is on:) , those who don't know him that think him guilty. Mr. JEREMY—Of leis innocence it is impossible now to speak decidedly. He must, unfortunately, remain ituder the suspicion of guilt, till the guilty person is discovered. This is the consequence of the criminal course of life he led, before the unhappy event in question. The matter here terminated, and the vast crowd outside, on learning the result, slowly dispersed. The Pique frigate, from Halifax for Quebec, for the safely of which fears had been entertained, was sale in Arichat.
